The State plan must include PACE as an optional Medicaid benefit before it can enter into program agreements with PACE providers. Participants must be at least 55 years of age, live in the PACE service area, and be certified as eligible for nursing home care by the appropriate State agency. The PACE program becomes the sole source of services for Medicare and Medicaid eligible enrollees.

• Therapeutic Group Homes (1)
  PH-6300.8600

  Therapeutic Group Homes

  PH-6300.8600
  
  Programs that provide an alternative living environment and mental health treatment services in licensed, non-secure facilities for children and adolescents with significant emotional or behavioral problems who have some capability to engage in community-based activities. Although the types and combinations of treatment vary, treatment services typically include individual, group and family counseling, behavior modification, vocational training, recreational therapy and skill building. Therapeutic group homes are generally licensed by the state; offer a less restrictive treatment environment than residential treatment, but are more restrictive than therapeutic foster care; and are located in the community where residents attend local schools.
• Transitional Case/Care Management (4)
  PH-1000.8500

  Transitional Case/Care Management

  PH-1000.8500
  
  Programs that develop, implement, assess and follow up on plans for the evaluation, treatment and/or care of people who are experiencing a specific, time-limited problem such as a transition from hospitalization to independent living and who need assistance to obtain and coordinate the support services that will facilitate the change.
• Village Model Aging in Place Programs (1)
  PH-0360.9000

  Village Model Aging in Place Programs

  PH-0360.9000
  
  Voluntary organizations or networks of older adults who join together in neighborhood-centric groups to help one another stay in their homes as they age by providing or arranging for volunteer supported services such as transportation to medical appointments and shopping, minor home repairs and maintenance, home chores, and social and educational activities. For services beyond the scope of local volunteer capacity, villages may offer exclusive arrangements with a single agency or vendor to provide needed services; or may compile lists of vetted, reliable vendors who offer a range of assistance at a discount. Village programs vary in the populations served (intergenerational programs or seniors only), the amount of dues, the use of paid staff or volunteers, the cost (if any) of services and the range of services available. Some villages may have additional support from philanthropic, governmental or business sources.
